BOSS v/s LEADER
The key to the success of any company or organization is the leader who assists his employees and pushes them in the right direction. Good quality of leadership motivates employees to do better. A leader and a boss can be the same thing or two different things depending on the qualities that a person has. However, there is a major difference between a leader and a boss:
Nature and position of Boss and Leader:
A boss is who runs an organization. He is the man to whom employees report and are supervised. He keeps control over the employee; gives orders and assigns duties to the employees. On the other hand, a leader is who supports and encourages his team and works continuously to achieve the goal.
The Boss says go but the leader says let’s go:
A boss pushes employees to complete their work whereas a leader is who teaches the employee how to do your work on time.
A leader has followers, not employees. People give respect to leaders for his good quality of leadership and character and on the other side, a boss gains respect due to his authority.
Boss is always profit-oriented not people-oriented:
A leader is people-oriented, fixes the breakdown and identifies what is wrong, and never blame employees for any loss. Boss totally runs in the opposite direction of a leader, he only thinks about his profit or loss and not the employees.
The difference between these two is about the vision through which people see them. If the boss is not strict with his employees to get the work done from them they will become lazy and start fooling him. On the contrary, being a leader you have to be a good listener and influencer first, as you have to play a supporting role to boost the morale of the followers from time to time.
